Know the types of drills
- Drill driver: drills holes and drives screws — the all-rounder for home use.
- Hammer drill: adds a pounding action to bore through concrete and brick — essential for Indian walls.
- Impact driver: delivers high torque for driving long screws and bolts with ease.
- Rotary hammer: heavy-duty drilling into masonry and concrete for tough jobs.
Do you need hammer action?
If you'll drill into concrete or brick walls — common in Indian homes — a hammer drill is a must. A plain drill will struggle and overheat on masonry.
Check the chuck size
The chuck holds the bit. A 10mm chuck handles most home jobs; a 13mm chuck takes larger bits for heavier work. Match it to your typical drilling.
Look at power and speed
Higher wattage (corded) or voltage (cordless) means more drilling power. Variable speed control lets you drill delicate materials slowly and masonry faster — genuinely useful.
Useful features
- Forward/reverse for driving and removing screws
- A keyless chuck for fast bit changes
- An LED work light
- A clutch to prevent over-driving screws
- BIS-compliant safe wiring (corded)
Get the right bits
A drill is only as good as its bits — masonry for walls, wood for timber, HSS for metal. The right bit protects both the drill and your work.
